A public school district in San Diego, Calif., has voted unanimously
to initiate “Trayvon Martin dialogues” among middle and high-school
students so they can “speak honestly about their identification with
Trayvon Martin’s story, including feelings of fear, anger and skepticism
that they will live in a just society as they prepare for their
future.”
On July 30, the San Diego Unified School District board voted 4-0 to
“allow students to speak honestly about the worldview that prompted
George Zimmerman to confront Trayvon Martin, and help students develop
perspectives and strategies to channel their feelings about Trayvon
Martin into positive work for themselves and the larger community.”
School-board member Richard Barrera, who the district describes as
having “a background as a community organizer, working to revitalize
low-income neighborhoods,” presented the resolution by explaining, “The
Trayvon Martin case is something that is having a huge impact across the
country and here in the San Diego community. And I know that it’s also
an issue that’s particularly having an impact on young people.
So sad that the expiration date for their narrative has passed them by.
